Benefits of a Serviced Apartment During this COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 Coronavirus has already had a large impact on the hotel industry and brought with it a huge amount of uncertainty. The first priority at this time is obviously the safety of guests and staff. However, serviced apartments are much safer than hotels, in regards to keeping social distance.
Here are 4 reasons why a serviced apartment is much better than a hotel during this crisis:
1. You are in control of your own space
Serviced apartments come with a lot more space, basically a home away from our home.
They have all the modern amenities you could ever need. Once you book in, you are totally in control of your own apartment; movement, schedule and the best thing is the meal preparations.
You have a whole fully equipped kitchen to prepare your own meals, helping to obey the social distancing rule.
2. You can work and live
Serviced apartments have amenities that enable you to live and work at the same time; a perfect balance of both business and pleasure.
There are board rooms you can conduct business in, away from distractions. And you can still utilize the space in your apartment for some quiet study or work time.
Keeping in mind the causes of transmission, here are a number of safety measures we have put in place to ensure our guest’s safety:
- Everyone to wear masks (possibly including guest in public spaces). There is a growing amount of evidence that this considerably reduces transmission.
- A ‘no contact’ rule between staff or staff and guests
- Keeping 1.5m distance between people – this means reducing the capacity at shared spaces like pool, restaurant.
3. Sanitization
We have placed sanitizer at strategic places and signage to remind associates to wash hands
- Guest Rooms: Housekeeping Steward to adhere to cleaning and disinfecting SOPs to clean rooms after guests depart and before the next guest arrives, with particular attention paid to high-touch items.
- Public Spaces: Public Area stewards have increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting in public spaces, with a focus on the counter at the front desk, elevators (and elevator buttons), door handles, public bathrooms.
- Back of House: Increase the frequency of cleaning focusing on high-touch areas like entrances, changing rooms, laundry rooms, and staff offices.
4. Temperature Check
All visitors and staff are checked before accessing the facility. Your health and safety is our number one priority.
- We are aware and informed
- We are prepared
- We are safe
- We are taking every measure to make sure that our facility is safe.
